)
Morning, visit Taj Mahal - one of the seven wonders of the world
surely the most extravagant _expression of love ever created. 20,000
men laboured for over 17 years to build this memorial to Shah Jahan's
beloved wife. The Taj is at its most alluring in the relative quiet
of early morning, shrouded in mists and bathed with a soft red glow.
As its vast marble surfaces fall into shadow or reflect the sun,
its colour changes, from soft grey and yellow to pearly cream and
dazzling white; it's well worth visiting at different times. This
play of light is an important decorative device, symbolically implying
the presence of Allah, who is never represented in anthropomorphic
form.

Also enjoy the Tonga Ride to the most beautiful monument in the
world

After breakfast, visit the Agra fort - the rusty and majestic red-sandstone
fort of Agra stands on the banks of the river Yamuna and the construction
was started by Emperor Akbar in 1566.

At the Diwan-I-Am (hall of public audience), a colonnaded hall of
red-sandstone with a throne alcove of inlaid marble at the back,
the Emperor heard public petitions. At the Diwan-I-Khas (hall of
private audience) where marble pavilions with floral inlays lend
an ethereal ambience, the Emperor sat on his gem-studded Peacock
Throne and met foreign ambassadors and rulers of friendly kingdoms.

After Agra Fort, the monument that is most important in Agra is
the Tomb of Itmad-ud-Daulah or "Baby Taj" as it is called
sometimes. A highly ornate edifice, this mausoleum is considered
as the imminent precursor of the Taj Mahal as far as elaborate carvings
and inlay work are concerned. Though the structure does not have
much to offer architecturally, it makes a clear departure from the
earlier Mughal tombs built during the period and is softer and with
many inlay carvings. Later transfer to railway station to board
the overnight train to Varanasi.
